What Hesser and Stubbs say: Kale and quinoa are a match made in heaven, and it turns out they're even better when you throw some eggs and cheese into the mix.

**What Hesser and Stubbs say: While there are richer elements -- pancetta, cream and nuts -- scattered throughout, the kale itself, only cooked for a few minutes, is what shines through, enhanced rather than drowned out by the other ingredients.
